I'm glad some people are starting to take this more seriously. We're still at least a few weeks away from a shift in mentality in the US. Right now, it's general apathy. Next, it'll be alert and preparedness. Last, it will be panic. I don't think it will reach chaos, but you certainly don't want to be at Costco in a few weeks.
There's no downside in being prepared - worst case scenario you slowly consume the perishables or donate them. In related news, Zoom's stock is surging. I wonder if Slack's stock will eventually have a similar boom.
- trianglem 7y agoWhat does Zoom and Slack have to do with this?
- huanwin 7y agoI assume that they're commonly used by remote workers/teams.
- caseysoftware 7y agoIn simplest terms, tools that allow you to be remote (aka stay home) and still be mostly effective are immensely valuable.
- kradeelav 7y agoRemote working is most likely going to get popular as a way to limit spread of the virus.
- Nannooskeeska 7y agoI'm assuming it's the increase in people working remotely, thus having to use tools like Zoom and Slack to communicate more effectively with their teams.
- rayhendricks 7y agoWell Costco has been selling the emergency food supplies, at least out on the Olympic peninsula. Of course I’m sure some people will capitalize off the panic, I’d be tempted to dump 50k into VTSAX and head for the hills too.
